Scarfies for The Cuisle Centre

€1,980
of €1,000 goal

The Cuisle Cancer Support Centre are a non profit organization who offer a solid support service for cancer patients and their family. I have volunteered as a therapist with the centre over the last few years, because I have a huge respect and appreciation for the service they provide and the work that they do. In July 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer myself, and now have an even greater appreciation for the center, and a deeper understanding of the essential support role they provide for cancer patients and their families.Click here to learn more about my story

Hairloss is a difficult part of cancer treatment, for me the most frustrating part is not being able to tie a stylish head scarf without looking like Aladdin. If you would like to post a Scarfie (head scarf selfie) on social media, please use #scarfie #thecuislecancersupportcentre #cuislefundraiser to help raise awareness xx

Thank you all for your donations. My original target was €500, and the fundraiser is currently at €1800!! I can’t believe it!! I am totally overwhelmed by everyone’s support and generosity. I am scheduled for surgery in the new year, so once I’m back on my feet after that, I will be presenting the Cuisle Centre with a cheque for the final amount. My last chemo was 3 weeks ago, so I’m looking forward to a normal Christmas with no drugs where my biggest concern will be having the right batteries in stock for what presents Santa might bring the kids! Thank you all so much for the support. I hope you never need to use the services of the Cuisle Centre, but if you do, you will be able to see the good that your donations do, and how the center supports cancer patients and their families and provides their service free of charge. People can just walk in or call and are immediately welcomed into the Cuisle Centre, it’s a very unique place xx
